Let Them Sleep

walking beneath the trees at night branches hanging low draped and full of slumber

flower heads hanging low 
swing slowly in the wind 

no one is looking the grass beneath the trees 
prefer to lay down on its side 
resting

the wind is still 
the leaves are not blowing
everything seems to be asleep

walk away quietly 
let them sleep

Beautiful Flight

A bird in flight is beautiful 
Not because the bird is trying to be beautiful
A bird just knows to fly

Waiting for a Superhero

I was waiting for a superhero living in the shadows ducking behind trees peaking around corners

one day I saw my reflection in a broken mirror in an abandoned house I thought I was abandoned  I see the real me

one day I saw my reflection in a puddle of water after a thunderstorm my face is all wet I see the real  me

I realized I don't need my eyes to see what is not there I can see what is not coming 
I realize I am my superhero in disguise

Eve of 46

The leaves are blowing in the slight wind but not loud enough to make a sound
the birds are flying quietly, cats dogs are sitting minding their business on the eve of 46

The music playing loud in headphones the traffic is buzzing along fire trucks are waiting dalmatian sit yawning on the eve of 46

The children at their desk quietly reading the workers at their desk quietly reading people sip coffee in the cafe quietly reading on the eve of 46

The Sun came up and kiss the sky the moon kiss the sky goodnight on the eve of 46

Early Evening Sky

The  early evening sky

Steals the fading daylight

casting the moon light on the lake

reflection we see ourselves
